  2. Action spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Action_spectrum

    The action spectra of chlorophyll molecules are slightly modified in vivo depending on specific pigment-protein interactions. An action spectrum is a graph of the rate of biological effectiveness plotted against wavelength of light. [1] It is related to absorption spectrum in many systems.

  3. Photochemical action plots - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photochemical_action_plots

    Photochemical action plots are a scientific tool used to understand the effects of different wavelengths of light on photochemical reactions.The methodology involves exposing a reaction solution to the same number of photons at varying monochromatic wavelengths, monitoring the conversion or reaction yield of starting materials and/or reaction products.

  4. Phototropism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phototropism

    Phototropism in Solanum lycopersicum. In biology, phototropism is the growth of an organism in response to a light stimulus. Phototropism is most often observed in plants, but can also occur in other organisms such as fungi. The cells on the plant that are farthest from the light contain a hormone called auxin that reacts when phototropism ...

  5. Photoinhibition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photoinhibition

    The visible-light part of the action spectrum was found to have a peak in the red-light region, suggesting that chlorophylls act as photoreceptors of photoinhibition. In the 1980s, photoinhibition became a popular topic in photosynthesis research, and the concept of a damaging reaction counteracted by a repair process was re-invented.

    Baby boomers, they're just like us. Or, rather, we're just like them. And by "we," I mean millennials. The inevitable march of time often means turning into your parents, no matter how much you ...

  8. Phytochrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phytochrome

    It has been well documented that gravitropism is the main tropism in roots. However, a recent study has shown that phototropism also plays a role. A red light induced positive phototropism has been recently recorded in an experiment that used Arabidopsis to test where in the plant had the most effect on a positive phototropic response.
